" I will first prioritise saving this money because this will buy me time to budget well in detail on how I can have a long term plan of using this cash wisely. In addition, saving helps me plan for emergencies. Going by the slum environment, distasters happen at anytime like fire breakouts. This will help me pick up my life in the case of misfortunate events due to the emergency plans I will have created earlier through the savings. Secondly, I have a desire to start a salon business. This is what I have studied for and have a passion in. I would like to put my skills in practise and earn a living through it by the income generation I expect from the business. Thirdly, I would like to support my brother through school by paying his school fees just to clear any stress burden or excuses of him not working hard or going to school due to lack school fees."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I do not buy milk nowadays like before hence I can save some money daily. Before I received the transfer from GiveDirectly, my family would skip breakfast sometimes since I could not afford to buy milk daily."

"The first biggest difference in my life is that we now eat a well balanced diet compared to the past when our feeding was very poor. We all look happy and healthy. Secondly, I was very sick but when I received the cash transfer, I spent part of it to treat myself."

"I was woken by the sound of the phone at around 4.am and on checking the phone it was a message from GiveDirectly indicating that I had received money. I couldn't believe it, so I woke my spouse to give her the good news. She was so happy about the news and to her, it was a miracle. We prayed and later called my mum to check if she too got the message and to my surprise, she received the call while laughing, and she didn't seem as if she was sleeping. She could feel the joy we had, so she advised us to get back to sleep and wait until morning so that we could talk on the way forward."

"GD has improved my standards of living for example I can feed my family properly and I am soon starting to construct my house."

"I was able to acquire a piece of land, I have started a new business which has helped me earn some income at the end of the day."
